Ozzy Osbourne's Rarely-Seen Children Aimee and Louis Make Emotional Appearance at Funeral Procession
Ozzy Osbourne's Rarely-Seen Children Aimee and Louis Make Emotional Appearance at Funeral Procession originally appeared on Parade. Thousands of fans lined the streets on July 30 for hometown funeral procession, which also included appearances from his family members—those in the public eye and the ones who've opted to live a more private life. His rarely-seen daughter, AimeeOsbourne, who never sought out the celebrity lifestyle, joined her famous mother, Sharon Osbourne, and her siblings, Kelly and Jack Osbourne, for the procession walk in the streets of Birmingham. Family members turned out for the celebration of life, paying their respects to the late Black Sabbath frontman, who died at the age of 76. No cause of death was revealed, though the "Prince of Darkness" dealt with several health issues prior, including a diagnosis of Parkinson's in 2019. Aimee, 41, donned an all-black outfit, complete with a black beret and veil, and was overcome with emotion as she put down a pink flower in black paper at her father's memorial. In addition to his children, Ozzy's grandchildren—Jack's daughters Pearl, Andie, Minnie and Maple—were also in attendance, along with Kelly's 2-year-old son, Sidney. Ozzy's notoriously private son, Louis, 50, from his first marriage to Thelma Riley, was also in attendance. It seems that his daughter, Jessica, 45, and adopted son, Elliot Kingsley, whom he also shares with Riley, opted to skip the event. As the family grieved, they acknowledged the crowd and raised their hands in peace signs. The former The View host was seen breaking down into tears as she mourned her husband, while Kelly embraced her fiancé, Slipknot's Sid Wilson, and hugged her brother. The procession was accompanied by Bostin' Brass, a live brass band. Per Hello, it was announced on Tuesday that the family was covering the costs of the public procession, allowing fans to say goodbye to the legend, ahead of the private funeral.🎬SIGN UP for Parade's Daily newsletter to get the latest pop culture news & celebrity interviews delivered right to your inbox🎬 Ozzy Osbourne's Rarely-Seen Children Aimee and Louis Make Emotional Appearance at Funeral Procession first appeared on Parade on Jul 30, 2025 This story was originally reported by Parade on Jul 30, 2025, where it first appeared.

Devon Marsman's mother says she may never have closure as celebration of life held for teen
To Theresa Gray, celebrating the life of her 16-year-old son, Devon Sinclair Marsman, made her "feel the love" of her community. But she says it doesn't feel like closure. Marsman was last seen on Feb. 24, 2022, in the Spryfield area of Halifax, and was reported missing the following week. The teen's remains were found last fall. Five people have been charged in connection with his disappearance and killing. "I'm not sure if I'm ever going to have closure," Gray said Sunday in an interview at a church hall where a celebration of life was held for her son. "Even after the trials and whatever happens in the trials, I don't get my son back." Family, friends and members of the community gathered at Saint Agnes Church hall to remember Marsman, who was described in his obituary as someone who "loved to pull pranks and always had the most contagious laugh." The gathering was a mix of happiness and sadness, said Gray, with people crying, sharing funny anecdotes, and calling for justice. Many wore custom shirts bearing Marsman's face and age. Dressed in black and wearing pins with his portrait were many of Marsman's close friends. Gage Mamye recalled his childhood friend as "a kind soul" who was like a brother. Mamye said the celebration of life was an important step in helping Marsman's friends move forward. "Everybody was a little bit of a mess when we were looking for him. So now that he's finally back home with his parents, it's a bit of relief to be able to celebrate him that way," he said in an interview. At the end of the ceremony, Mamye and other friends and family released 16 white pigeons, representing the 16 years Marsman lived. Police initially stated there was no indication of foul play after Marsman went missing, but eight months after his disappearance, they said the case was suspicious. Treyton Alexander Marsman, 26, was charged last year with second-degree murder, indignity to human remains and obstruction of justice. Police previously confirmed there is a "familial relationship" between Devon Marsman and Treyton Marsman, but would not elaborate. A 20-year-old man is facing charges of accessory after the fact to murder and obstructing justice. He cannot be named under the Youth Criminal Justice Act because he was a youth at the time of the alleged offences. Emma Maria Meta Casey, 23, is facing charges of accessory after the fact to murder, indignity to human remains and obstructing justice. Chelsey Herritt, 26, has been charged with accessory after the fact to murder and indignity to human remains. A fifth accused, 40-year-old Mark Douglas Robert Doyle, was charged in March with accessory after the fact to murder. Police have not said where Devon Marsman's remains were found, citing ongoing court proceedings. His mother said the wait for answers has been frustrating, and she hopes justice will be served. In the meantime, Gray said she is appreciative of the support her family has received. "I knew that the outcome of love would be here today," she said Sunday. "Devon has a Facebook page with close to 8,000 people, and the people that shared his name and shared his story over three years was amazing from the beginning."

Gayle Frances Downs Gayle Frances Downs, our beautiful wife,
Jun. 13—Gayle Frances Downs Gayle Frances Downs, our beautiful wife, mother, and grandmother passed away on May 5, 2025 at the age of 81 at her home in Albuquerque, New Mexico. "Mina" as she was affectionately named by her grandchildren, was a bright light in the lives of those who knew and loved her. Her passing has left a huge void in the hearts of her family and friends. Gayle was preceded in death by her parents, Frank and Evelyn Carugno; son, Robert (Bobby) Downs; and brother, Bill Carugno. She is survived and missed deeply by her husband of 63 years, Robert Downs; daughter, Kelly (Michael) Lichtenberger; grandchildren, Sara, Rachel, and Jacob (Andrea) Lichtenberger; great-grandchildren, Shiloh and Finley; sister, Nancy Sobba, and many other family members who adored her. Gayle will be remembered for her silliness, sense of humor, devotion to family, and love of travel. She was always up for impromptu road trips, and her go-with-the-flow attitude made for incredible memories. She was a wonderful mom and an incredible grandmother. She was blessed with so many friends who she loved dearly. She always had a positive attitude even during hard times and never complained. She was thankful for everything, no matter how small. Navigating life without this precious soul will take some time for her family. She was was loved beyond measure. Cremation has taken place, and per her wishes, a celebration of life by the ocean (her favorite place) will take place at a later date.
